Experience swapping pickguards with aftermarket parts

[Vhalen50]

My mirror jem pickguard cracked and i purchased a "FITS JEM RG SERIES" type mirror guard to replace it. It was only 30 bucks so i figured it was worth the gamble. Printed out the template and seemed like it would match. Showed up a week later and the outer holes fit but 3 towards the edges do not. I emailed the seller and hes asking me to mail him a template for him to match up with something else.

Any idea to find a JEM BRMR template...or buy a legit replacement that wont cost me $$$$$$$$$$$.

Try Sigler or Dragonline, maybe they can send you a non-drilled pickguard, at the condition you have a drilling tower or somebody in the neighbourhood who has one (any woodwork shop will have one) to be sure to make a proper job.
